a dream speech lawyers for jacob blake the black man paralyzed after being shot by police say he is no longer handcuffed to his hospital bed. and there are all the top story the batteries president is saying he's ordered hoffa's army to be ready for combat is the e.u. draws up sanctions against bad a russian officials. down in school the n.b.a. playoffs will resume on saturday the players agree to end the boycott aimed at highlighting issues of social injustice in the united states. hello welcome to the program tens of thousands of people have filled washington d.c.'s national mall to rally for racial equality and criminal justice reform a march on washington also commemorates the 57th anniversary of martin luther king

jr as i have a dream speech the demonstration was dubbed the get your knee off found next march echoing how george floyd was killed by police in may the u.s. has been gripped by racial protest since his death and the outrage fled again this week after another black man jacob blake was shot in the back 7 times by a police officer leaving him paralyzed. well a tetra whitman the sister of jacob play told americans to stand against oppression without chaos and violence america. your reality is not real catering to your delusions is no longer an option we will not pretend we will not be your data file slave we will not be your 1st go 7 to our press in most of our we will not dress up this genocide and blue collar police brutality we were only pledge allegiance to the truth

black america 'd. i hold you accountable you must stand you must fight but not with violence and chaos and george floyd sr bridgette supporters to continue the fight for a better future how would the history books remember you. what will be your legacy will your future generations remember you for your comfort complacency you're in action or were they remember you for your empathy your leadership your passion. for we are now the injustices in evil in our world as go live now to hide your castro who's in washington describe for us idea if you can that the scale of the protests we saw today.

there and we saw people turning out by the 10s of thousands there's no exact estimate at this point but some 50000 works packed as of this morning and certainly they filled all the space of the national mall between the lincoln memorial and the washington monument the people here telling me they wanted to relive a chapter of history that brings so much pride to them when martin luther king jr led the civil rights movement 57 years ago he ascended those very steps behind me and delivered those famous words i have a dream a dream of racially quality for black americans today it was his son who followed in his father's footsteps addressing the crowd with a message that while hopeful a bit of knowledge of the progress that has been made it was also a challenge because his father's dream according to his son has not been yet fulfilled we know that the march today was the idea.

during the funeral of george ford who of course is the black american who died under the knee of a wash. in minneapolis the on the arrests that followed that killing with protesting in many cities across the country really made the country stare this issue in its eyes but after that and even during this pandemic we've seen get more names added to the list of people black people who have been shot or killed by police officers and as you mentioned the latest one late in wisconsin who was shot 7 times in the back by an officer in front of his own children we heard from his family and the family of so many others in fact there were so many families of victims of police brutality that there wasn't even time to hear from them all delivering a somber message of the grief that they still live with and will always live with

but the speeches today were also highly. by the hold that we heard in the voice of martin luther king's 12 year old granddaughter. last. my father predicted this. is what. people are coming together. the world from. the days of the. movements we must forget the freedom rides. in selma. a great deal of emotion and passion of the march today of course has been no end to

police violence so we'd likely to see an escalation of protests in different cities in the country particularly in the run up to the election where we are seeing more of these peaceful demonstrations being organized but really the message of organizers here today was not only to make voices heard in the streets in these marches but in fact at the polls as you're say in the november election there was a very adamant anti trump opinion here of the people i spoke with the belief that this president has not heard the pain of the african-american community and that this congress while the democrats have presented various options for reform those have not come into fruition and republicans have not. have not agreed to pass that legislation so certainly people here are saying they're making their voices heard on the street in these type of marches and they also will come election day at the

polls. thank you very much with the latest from washington heidi joke awestruck. one of jacob blake's lawyers has told al jazeera his client is no longer handcuffed to a hospital bed treatment which had upset his family and he say they're straight was applied because of a previous arrest warrant that's now been lifted the underlying policy did not make any sense it was can ocean county that was in forcing this policy can osha county the same county in which the city of can osha sits the same county in which the city that employed this officer is. and so why there was not some sort of compassion with respect to the severe injuries that jacob suffered i don't know he wasn't going anywhere he is paralyzed he is

heavily medicated he's in a ton of pain. every day every millimeter he moves is excruciating we painful so why did you know chakotay have to enforce their policy i don't know but thankfully we work through the legal process and we think the milwaukee county sheriff's office for expediting this process in relieving mr jacob of the restraints and of the officer watch meanwhile an extradition hearing for a u.s. teenager who shot dead 2 people at protests in the state of wisconsin has been delayed 17 year old college rittenhouse was arrested at his illinois home on wednesday a judge will determine whether he should be returned to wisconsin way faces 6 charges including reckless and intentional homicide the shootings happened in cheese day during unrest following the police shooting of jacob like.

well donald trump and mike pence are getting straight down the campaign trail fresh from the republican national convention in his speech accepting the policies nomination the us president called the election a choice between saving the american dream or allowing a socialist agenda to destroy it i white house correspondent can really help as more you. never invite in history has a sitting president campaign from the white house a political symbol that supposed to be for all americans i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the united states. like to buy but donald trump has again broken with precedent as he accepted the republican party's nomination and attacked his democratic rival joe biden this is the most important election in the history of our country. spoke of with an hour paid to

get apocalyptic picture of a biden presidency he told voters his opponent was campaigning as a democrat but would assure in an ideology much further left than any other liberal candidate your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding americans or whether we give free rein to violent and our kids and agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens. trump touted what he saw as some of his administration successes in foreign policy i could not sit by. as career politicians let other countries take advantage of us on trade borders foreign policy and national defense a domestic policy even as trump has scored low marks from american voters for his pandemic response with more than 180000 americans dead trump argued biden

will not make things better instead of following the science joe biden wants to inflict a painful shutdown on the entire country whose shutdown would inflict unthinkable and lasting harm on our nation's children's families and citizens of all backgrounds as he spoke more than a 1000 guests most of them not wearing a mask sat shoulder to shoulder ignoring the white house's own social distancing guidelines earlier in the day democratic vice presidential nominee camila harris hit back charging trump didn't do enough in the early days of the pandemic to protect americans all we needed was a competent president one who was willing to listen willing to lead take responsibility have a plan do their job. paris also accused trump of stoking racial

divisions absent from trump's speech was any mention of jacob blake the man shot in the back last weekend of wisconsin by a white police officer even though the incident has caused nights of protests and the shutdown of the country's biggest sports leagues and in true trump fashion his speech and the convention ended literally with a bang. but in an attempt to drown out the festivities the protesters marched through the streets around the white house demanding justice and value to do all they could to prevent trump's reelection but donald trump is undeterred by the push back in an effort to build momentum following his acceptance speech immediately hitting the campaign trail of friday he'll travel to the u.s. state of new hampshire to hold his 1st political rally since the republican national convention kimberly health at al-jazeera the white house committee joins us live now to tell us more about the reaction to his message and also who he is

going to be targeting now on the campaign trail. yeah well really the reaction comes down to a couple of things number one particularly democrats have been criticizing the speech because of the way it was presented that the white house was used for political purposes which violates federal law and now the other big criticism about it is that there was kind of this scorched earth approach to this speech many would suggest that it was using fear tactics employing the fear of violence and rioting if joe biden becomes president and to your question about who this is targeting the answer really 'd is not kind of the president's base that we've heard so much about that has been so loyal throughout his presidency but it's more we see some trending away from the democrats in 2 key groups in 2016 we saw a very very small movement of the needle when it comes to communities of color

particularly latino and african-americans and also there were a number of white working class moms suburban moms who trended in that direction and so this is why the campaign is taking this approach they are trying to play on the fears they feel that this might ignite the concerns of some people in those groups to support leave the democratic party and support donald trump he will need them because it is some of those key demographics particularly when it comes to women that he has been losing some support because one thing we know he likes to talk about and really pays attention to television ratings audience numbers is how did president trump's acceptance speech how did it fare in contrast to joe biden. well it is all about the ratings when it comes to president trump because of course television producer is one of the things on his resume the numbers not looking is good for donald trump as they are for joe biden in his acceptance speech

$23600000.00 americans watched joe biden's except in speech just $21600000.00 watched donald trump so 1 it's a difference of about $2000000.00 2 there that is not something to like so he went on twitter to kind of rebranded saying great ratings and reviews last night but unfortunately they weren't quite as good as joe biden is now why does this matter why will this get under trump's skin well in 2016 his expect acceptance speech was more widely viewed than hillary clinton's of course he went on to win the election so if you look at that as a barometer that could be concerning for the president all right thank you can really help get from the white house. states along the u.s. gulf coast of bracing for more extreme weather is the cleanup from hurricane laura begins the storm has weakened but more tornadoes and heavy rain are expected over

the weekend arkan laura is now known to have killed at least 14 people and left hundreds of thousands without power it's one of the biggest storms ever to hit the region. you're watching the news hour live from london much more still ahead days after he became japan's longest serving prime minister in emotional oceans are bay says he's resigning for health reasons. heart wrenching scenes in where at least 40 dolphins have now died in the area of a recent oil spill. and in sport more problems for ferrari before the belgian formula one grand prix. california texas new york and several other states will not be following new advice from the u.s. centers for disease control to reduce coronavirus testing for those exposed to it the states will continue testing asymptomatic people have come into contact with

the 19 as part of their plan to stop the virus spreading the c.d.c. this week changed its coronavirus testing guidance shocking health officials and many politicians new york's governor andrew cuomo challenge the assertion that politics played no role in the change but officials from the department of health and human services deny any pressure from president trump of the testing policies of course one virus expert who's voiced concerns over the guidelines is dr anthony felt she director of the u.s. national institutes of allergy and infectious diseases is also a leading member of the white house coronavirus task force and earlier i spoke to dr who told me that yes cautious it cautiously optimistic that will be a successful vaccine by the end of the year. even at a steady state we're having between 35 and 45000 infections per day so even if things don't get worse you know you have more infections and when you have more infections you have more deaths so hopefully we'll be much better

prepared to do 2 things to diminish the number of actual infections and by doing that to diminish the number of deaths because as you know we've been hanging around a 1000 deaths per day for quite a period of time right now we've got to get that number down of course there is this clash isn't there between the medical advice and the economic imperatives you must be concerned about the prime the chair lifting of lockdowns leading to new outbreaks of the pandemic and resulting in more infections and sadly more deaths. well that's really the problem that we faced in the united states you know we got hit very badly in the northeastern part of a country dominated by the new york metropolitan area which at one time during the outbreak accounted for close to 50 percent of all the infections hospitalizations and deaths as the northeastern part of the country got on the much better control

as we tried to open up the country for economic reasons southern states such as florida texas arizona and california began to have the surges that lifted our backgrounds from 20000 cases a day up to as high as 70000 now as i mentioned we're back down to somewhere between 35 and 45000 cases our concern right now is that there are other regions of the country particularly the midwest in which this inklings of the same problem namely as you try to open up the country if you don't do it in a careful measured way it hearing to the guidelines that we've mentioned on the analogy i guess that's the problem that hasn't been done in a café way has it mean a few months ago i think it was in maine a vast majority of us states have

a half of us states started reopening their economies without taking the steps outlined by the white house right exactly and that's the reason why we have to continue to put a lot of emphasis on the messaging of why it is so important when you do open we don't believe you need to lock down again we believe that if you open up in a careful and prudent way that you can open up gradually without having a surge of infections president trungpa saying his administration will approve a vaccine by the end of this year if not sooner. do you share his optimism yes i believe that if right now we have in the united states 2 candidates that are already in phase 3 trial in fact both of those have accumulated in rolled you know as many as half of the projected number of people in the trial if we get

that continuing to go in that direction by the time we get into the mid for all it will be a crew it enough to get some efficacy standpoints and if we do get that we've believe by the end of county here 2020 or the beginning of 2021 we should know if we have a safe and effective vaccine we're cautiously optimistic does the virus have the capability to mutate so quickly that a vaccine all previous infection is in and of provide much protection. well it's an r.n.a. virus so it's by its very nature will mutate what we have not seen is the kinds of mutations that have had a major functional change in the virus so thus far the virus is not indicating to us that it will mutate to avoid the protection of a vaccine that's always a possibility but right now we have no evidence or no indication that that would be

the case i know you don't want to get into politics but there is an election drawing closer we are likely to seeding creasing politicize ation of this virus and perhaps what republicans have termed found she fatigue regarding the warnings that you have been giving about opening up economies too quickly do you do you worry about the politics of endangering public health if it hasn't gone already. well i mean we i think anyone who is paying attention and looks at what's going on not only in the united states but in many places throughout the world we're living in a very divisive atmosphere politically right now that's just a fact of life nonetheless i believe that even in the spite that we can still get through this outbreak why it hearing to the public health measures that i've been talking about now for some time there are many countries around the world that it

taking those public health measures and yet we see beyond the united states numbers continuing to rise even in places like south korea which had a very efficient response with testing and contact tracing for the virus how how worried are you that countries that initially seem to be able to contain the virus and now struggling with a resurgence well i mean that's always obviously a problem you don't give up on that you continue to try and open up the economy in a careful prudent way may get successes and then you may get some setbacks you should not be discouraged by the set backs hopefully as the months go by and we get to as the end of the year there will be a vaccine available throughout the world which would make it much much easier to combine public health measures with a vaccine to be able to open up the economies in multiple countries if not every country throughout the world so that's what we're hoping for we're hoping to have

better treatments as well as ultimately a vaccine which for any viral infectious is always the best way to in a pandemic. 2 tick-tock stars have been charged with violating local emergency orders by throwing huge parties that flouted coronavirus restrictions authorities shut off water and power to the mansion being rented by bryce hall and blake gray who face fines of up to $2000.00 each or elsewhere france is now reported $7300.00 over $7300.00 new krona virus cases up from more than $6000.00 reported on thursday president emanuel saying his government is doing everything possible to avoid another nationwide coronavirus lockdown wearing a face mask is now mandatory in the capital paris estimated rate of infection in the country has quadrupled over the past month but hospitalizations and deaths remain relatively low the government is sticking to plans to reopen all school

starting on tuesday the country is so far ported nearly 300000 cases and over 30000 deaths. we do get is off for now country needs to educate children treat the most vulnerable people who have other health conditions be strong and continue to move forward to build its future therefore we need to learn to live with the virus like you i don't like wearing a mask we must learn to live with it it's uncomfortable with annoying for us let in people the social distancing is not natural it's not a male custom but i think it is a reasonable constraint that we must accept for a certain time. but hundreds of mass protest is a rally to across india to voice their anger over a government plan to hold exams for millions of students the demonstrations happened as india recorded its highest single day rise in corona virus cases yet at over $77000.00 country is the 3rd worst affected in the world with well over

north you can see quite a stream of cloud and some rather heavy downpours across areas further towards the northern areas of italy but meanwhile the southwest of russia it has been hoarse and dry the winds have been very strong this fire started out because a power line came down but it's just being fueled by the dry conditions the lake humidity and of the say these very strong gusty winds and it will stay dry and hold that over the next few days you can see where the very heavy rain is again is working its way off the coast of spain pushing across towards about erik's and trading up as you can see across at is of italy austria and also switzerland meanwhile across the northwest some fairly strong winds again a very shoddy pass and really across much of the u.k. and the countries and by sunday so it's a fairly strong winds across areas of the north and that rain becoming very having quite widespread throughout much of france and then this line of rain showers really pushing through much of germany and on through poland towards the bowl 6 now in terms of the actual weather for the next few days in paris as you can see we're going to risk. in the heavier rain will be and then scattered showers through

which has been pushing for sanctions as well well also said that he's ordered half the country's army into a combat ready mode and he's enlisted military support from the russian president vladimir putin saying their armies will unite dominic came reports now from but lynn where e.u. foreign ministers discuss the crisis. for weeks protesters have been on the streets of belarus demonstrating day and night against a government they believe is illegitimate and a president who they believe stole the general election these people hope the outside world is listening in berlin on friday the e.u. aunts and singling out for new sanctions the leaders of the government in minsk there was a political agreement among ministers to designate selected individuals responsible for their fraudulent elections and their rules and for the subsequent crackdown on

that exist in go to sanction regime this is the nation showing crude individuals. by political level but the belarusian president who hasn't been sanctioned himself is unmoved alexander lukashenko says if more sanctions come he will cut off transit routes through his country for e.u. goods destined for russia and the baltic states he says he will listen to farmers workers and students collectives but not those on the streets of the violent thugs who roam the streets and shout that they want a dialogue they don't want dialogue and nobody from the authorities will hold any negotiations on the street if there are sane people from the opposition which see its country is free and independent welcome. but while he wants to be seen as ready to listen has put his armed forces in combat ready mode and appealed to russia for help president vladimir putin has said he is prepared to send

a police reserve if necessary some people in the west have likened the opposition movement in belarus to those that toppled communism in eastern europe in the late 1980 s. the german chancellor angela merkel lived through those times in east berlin which is why she feels an empathy with the protesters in jail or us and believes their grievances should be heard. of this i hope the groups that have now courageously taken to the streets the people who have denounced abuses that they will have that degree of freedom which we can take for granted freedom of demonstration freedom of opinion. by bringing in targeted sanctions the e.u. is trying to deliver a clear message to alexander. but in return his message is equally clear he is not going anywhere anytime soon dominant kain al-jazeera berlin a freelance journalist under a vater which is in the capital minsk he says it is becoming more and more isolated

but its fighters threats protest as a determined not to get. on the 20th day of fun to look at some cup crosses the president has sworn the west's he wants a canny external pressure when the e.u. sanctions are imposed he says he will do the same in return for the bellerose government my do is unclear the economy struggling derek hughes it's money exchanged and he's given the heart to be a stroke cash from an a.t.m. ukraine has also now cut off contact with the governments here so that look at centcom now has only russia to rely on what they were put in has promised to send the reserve police force but also put in the military it's a common thread emotes i've been told by one metro driver that he's been called up to the army in the coming days because he protested after the election night after the rest of you have to journalism thursday night it could be much harder for the media to cover future events sunday is location because 66th birthday and

protesters are planning a new rally for what they call peace and independence there are also fears though of a russian invasion. well but are we some position countenance for an attack on a sky says she opposes foreign intervention in the crisis as it's a problem that people have to solve themselves. just call for respect of our serenity and we understand that the political crisis that we've had in the us it's only our internal affair and let people. choose they way by themselves and to solve this problem by themselves. journalist who's had to leave come country temporarily since the crisis broke out he joins me via skype and so we've heard from president alexander lukashenko saying that he's ordered half his army to be ready for combat in a warning shot to protest as is that likely to have any impact on demonstrations

planned for this weekend. indeed indeed many people are afraid that this we can break down might happen many people might be detained so or that they vents that happened on august 11th when thousands were beaten and put in prison might happen again this weekend and perhaps also next week resolution to show is clearly that he doesn't want any negotiations around table neither with a position at all nor always see so it kennel in mean that he is trying to empower his forces riot police and army in order to disperse the only poor more broadest. and that is that likely to so far we've seen protests as undeterred by his threats can they is that a sustainable position for them effect going to be putting their lives and their wellbeing at risk. it's hard to see in order belarus freule

last to be exchange so march and many people who are afraid of participate in any form of political life now they are going to streets every day basically every night many of them with god detained already 2 or 3 times so i think there is a core of protesters $50000.00 the $100.00 thousands which will be always participate in the protests despite all correct downs arrests harassment intimidation but it seems that it's not enough to have many people on the streets in order to bring changes to billers it should be some kind of institutional change institutionally or some group of people able to negotiate with their power chance of a look at doesn't lead this group to appear and set limits and who is in that illness right now she's not able to achieve this group properly being outside the country that means that they are unlikely to make any political gains. you're right you're

right it's very difficult to make any political gains if you don't have the subject of the person the group of people to be part of negotiations so her so she's a legitimate leader and many of foreign leaders and people in belarus regarding that her as their real elected president whether fortunately she doesn't have our of them and should rather have a moment duration doesn't have a few shows who will represent her interest in belarus right now and the putin who is back in look at schrenker right now he doesn't want neither to care to become the real art of this negotiations this is why we can see hope in the location or are doing similar in your sleep and they're walking in a one team all right now thank you for. your thoughts thanks for that. well germany is saying that it's ready to impose diplomatic sanctions against russia if it's proven that the opposition leader alexina valley was poisoned as

part of a state initiated murder attempt he is still in a coma after he fell ill on a flight from siberia to moscow last week but doctors at the hospital recovering say his condition is improving 44 year old remains in an intensive care unit and on a ventilator in other stories are following brazil the environment ministry is saying that all offer a chanst to combat illegal logging in the amazon will stop for monday says the decision was made to 2 insufficient funds because of brazil's federal budget department having blocks of money originally allocated for the in vironment. course we've also been following major political developments out of japan today government now has to decide who the next leader is going to be because prime minister shinzo abbay has resigned due to ill health the 65 year old is the country's longest serving prime minister but he's also been suffering from bowel disease he will remain in place until his successor is chosen brianna has more and

a warning that her report does contain flash photography. a chronic illness that cut short his 1st term in office 13 years ago has come back to force shinzo ave japan's longest serving prime minister to step down this entity or not america or i would like to sincerely apologize to the people of japan for leaving my post with one year left in my term of office and amid the coronavirus woes while various policies are still in the process of being implemented. oh the for most of the century should so our pay has dominated japan's politics he comes from an influential political to the state his grandfather was prime minister and his father foreign minister the conservative politician rose through the ranks of his liberal democratic party and became japan's youngest prime minister since

world war 2 in 2006 but that's didn't ended the full year due to help. 5 years later he returned if his 1st term was mauled by a political inexperience the 2nd had a renewed focus and agenda. up in the midst of what became known as the nomics was a series of a vicious reforms aimed at boosting japan struggling economy his vision of a well here stronger japan came with a lifelong mission to amend the country's pacifist constitution which bars it from hostile acts except in self defense many japanese opposes constitutional changes but he did manage to repeatedly win elections as a result of the stability that he brought the fact that he's won 6 national elections and basically been unopposed and really has shown no sign of losing his power really up until now it is

a year. that japan has been well governed has been predictably inconsistently govern for that period and he has managed to translate that into a much more visible role for japan in asia and global rbs strengthen security entry ties with the u.s. making japan one of its closest allies and despite total disputes he warmed up to regional superpower china and japan's wartime legacy led to renewed friction with south korea causing their worst diplomatic and create dispute for decades the 27 earthquake tsunami and fukushima nuclear disaster was a further test of his leadership another came in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic scuttled his plans to showcase japan on the world stage by hosting the tokyo summer olympics the world's 3rd largest economy already on the slide since 20 teen slumped
